Aug 3, 2011 - Some of you may have noticed last week that the video clips were offline and inaccessible. This was due to the site using too many resources. It appears to be caused by too many people using download managers at once.

There are are a few solutions to prevent this from happening again.

1.) We can limit the amount of time each user/IP can click on a download link. Meaning that once you click on a download link, you would then not be able to download another file for maybe 30-60 seconds. This would hopefully prevent download managers from making several connections to the server to speed up their download.

2.) We can move to a dedicated server where we can then have complete control over how many connections a visitor can have and use as many of the resources as we want. However, this would cost us more than 25 times what we are currently paying for web hosting, which I'm not prepared or capable of paying for on my own. So that would mean we would need to start charging for the site, which I will not do. Or I can start asking for donations to help pay for the server. Another thing I will not do, because donations are not guaranteed, so I cannot take the chance of not being able to pay for the server.

3.) Visitors can disable their download managers while downloading videos from the site. It might take a little while longer to download the larger files like from talk shows, but it will help to keep the site alive and available for you and others to enjoy.

If the site continues to use too many resources and the video clips need to get disabled again, then we will implement solution one. Depending on how that goes will determine the future of the site.

So the updates will resume tonight and we'll see how things go. Please be considerate and disable your download managers so the site will remain fun and available for everyone.

Dec 16, 2010 - Cast members from one of the most-talked-about-films of 2010, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, will be celebrating the holiday season with their fans at several Best Buy locations across the country. Summit Entertainment and Best Buy are partnering to host in-store autograph signings, giving the perfect holiday gift a special touch for its recipient. The first 200 customers to line up at each event location can receive an autograph from the cast member in attendance, with the purchase of any The Twilight Saga: Eclipse DVD, Blu-ray or Combo Pack. Lines will open two hours prior to each event start time.

This is happening this weekend. Call the Best Buy stores in your area to see if you will be one of the lucky ones to meet a cast member. Jodelle Ferland and Dakota Fanning are among the cast who will be signing. There will likely be other former kid actors at various locations.

Oct 21, 2009 - You're now viewing the new site. Some pages are still being worked on and may come up as an Error. Please be patient with us while we put the finishing touches on the site. Most of the pages from the old site have been removed and will likely never return, however most of the content from the old site has been moved to the new site and will remain online till the day Media Kid Vids goes offline.

Enjoy the new look and updates will start this weekend (Oct. 23-25, 2009) and will continue almost everyday till we run out of material.
